Tired Tuesday


#1 here. Fear not, I am the one who is tired, not any of the Chans, Tommy or Vidock! Yesterday was one of the biggest Percheron horse events of the year and Tommy and I were "deployed" all day. The weather was perfect and a whole day of running around in the sun has taken its toll. Not that there is any rest for the wicked as I am off to a meeting on the Percheron World Congress at the National Stud this afternoon.

Anyway, I thought you might like to see some photos from yesterday, taken with my brand-new camera!

Here is NotreDam de Prainville, a cousin of Vidock's, showing how good she is at dressage:


Here is big Tom, Vidock's half brother:


And here he is again, being ridden:


There were some wonderful old-time scenes:




And Tommy had a ball!

  4. Mom here: Wow V, I bet that was great to see all those fabulous horses...I envy you. So glad the weather was perfect...it certainly made it all that much better! Lautrec here: I want to comment on yesterday's post..Genji, how is it possible that you already have a girlfriend? It took me over 10 years to find one...you are one kitten magnet I guess. No wonder Bibi is a bit jealous, but Bibi is lookin' mighty manly so surely he has his pick of the kittehs!! Genji, your girlfriend is very pretty...be sure to give her lots of purrs and to spoil her with good things..the girls like that you know...and for some reason, they seem to love the color pink! I bet if you take a picture of you on a pink blanket, your little Miss Rose will swoon over it!! (I've done this so I can tell you it works!) Purrs from your buddy, Lautrec (and Tiny, of course...forget those goofy dawgs)
